i've got -- received a call in our office that a shooting had taken place in newtown. once we understand at least a portion of what had happened, got in the car and proceeded down to newtown from hartford. and then, you know, hours went by. and had to break it to families, about 20 families were there and had to be told that their loved one wouldn't be joining them. i think that's a tough moment for when and i think everyone. and by the way, i shouldn't say that. so much tougher for people who lost a wife or child. but it was -- it's been a couple of cuff tough days. >> as we talk to pete williams about the investigation, do you have any more information you are getting from investigators that would explain why he targeted this school. why he went on this rampage at all? >> you know, as i think was stated, he had a relationship with the school, had attended there. at least that's what i'm led to believe. but beyond that, no. we really don't know. that is a deeply troubled individual. obviously, you can't do the things that this individual did without any obvious motive

the massacre in newtown. of course mental health efforts are within our grasp if we are willing to commit the resources. you can have the best laws, but they need to be enforced and we need the resources to enforce them and people would be killed in far greater numbers but for the heroic response of the first responders. the president did what only a president can do, telling the people they were not alone in their grief and talking about how these tragedies must end. it was a moment that we see once every so often. george w. bush after 9/11 and the pile of rubble. bill clinton after oklahoma city. ronald reagan after the challenger accident. talk about the president and what he did last night and how he did it. >> it was a moment in the life of the country. an epic moment in his presidency and his life as a parent and a president clearly. i agree with senator blumenthal that this moment will not be diminished by time. it's not going away. >> no, it's not. >> partially because as we spoke earlier the three nu
